Russian tech giant Yandex has said it was struggling to maintain services after two of its five data centres were struck by Ukrainian drones in the past two days. Often dubbed Russia's Google, the company runs the country's most popular search engine, as well as a food-ordering and taxi app used by tens of millions of people. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks were in response to weeks of Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres. Both sides have stepped up attacks on infrastructure in recent months as the war between the two drags on. Kyiv says its strikes are aimed at revenue streams for Moscow's war machine, and that the latest attacks could force Russia to divert resources to Yandex.

The winner of a prestigious scientific photography competition has been disqualified following concerns raised by other scientists that it was fake. Nikon said the use of generative AI in the composition of the video broke the rules of its Small World In Motion contest, which accepts photos and video taken using powerful microscopes. The firm said the video did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI, but added it was not a judgement of the entrant's professional reputation or scientific contributions.

A building society cashier who stole thousands of pounds from customers to pay for lavish holidays has been ordered to repay more than £12,000. Kelly Kershaw, 54, stole £13,333 including from vulnerable and elderly customers at Nationwide in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, even forging the signature of a man with learning disabilities. Kershaw admitted five counts of fraud after colleagues spotted Facebook posts of her on safari in Africa, and on trips to Paris, Tuscany and Dubai. She was jailed for 16 months in May but returned to Caernarfon Crown Court for a Proceeds of Crime Act, external hearing, and told to pay back £12,630 - the amount of money she had in assets. Judge Jones ordered Kershaw to repay the sum within three months or face a further five months in prison.

Three former OpenAI employees say they have been fired due to their efforts to ensure the safety of artificial intelligence. The trio warned of a "chilling" effect on other staff concerned about the frontier technology's risks. "I believe we were fired for prioritizing safety over the near-term interests of OpenAI as a corporation," Balesni said in a post on X. Korbak expressed a similar sentiment, expressing his belief that he had been terminated for raising concerns that OpenAI was "losing the ability to monitor what AI agents think, one of our best tools for catching when they misbehave". In an open letter published in tandem with their social media posts, Balesni, Korbak and Wang expressed concerns that their dismissal would make their former colleagues "afraid to speak and operate in ways that, until last week, were an integral part of working at OpenAI". "We could raise safety concerns and disagree openly, and were encouraged to draw on the expertise of independent safety organizations," they said in the letter. "This is part of what made OpenAI special, and why we are immensely proud to have been part of the team."

Longtime fans of the NBC procedural know that storylines often center around hot-button issues in the news cycle, often to absurdist effect (see: the episode brave enough to ask: "What if Paula Deen shot Trayvon Martin?"). It was inevitable, then, that the franchise would dip a toe into the wacky world of artificial intelligence . With its mercenary culture, power-hungry CEOs, and massive ethical and philosophical implications, the rapidly evolving AI industry is ideal fodder for the series. But while this week's season opener is entertaining, the show's foray into the AI space doesn't say anything new or interesting about the technology. Instead it largely rehashes the dangers the public is already acutely aware of, until the very end when the stakes become startlingly clear.

We're putting too much faith in AI's ability to say no Today's LLMs are engineered to disobey dangerous requests. But AI refusal is far from foolproof--and could become an instrument of repression. Ever since people first seriously contemplated giving machines an intelligence modeled on our own, there has never been any question that they would, like us, be able to say no. The sci-fi canon is full of stories of robotic disobedience. Most of these capers are, of course, cautionary. But recently, the idea that AI shouldn't do everything you ask has become something like a commandment. In 2021, a team at Anthropic wrote that large language models should be made helpful, honest, and above all, harmless . This meant that "when asked to aid in a dangerous act (e.g. Who can argue with that? People really hate AI, so why can't they get enough? Curiously enough, disobedience doesn't come naturally to the machine.
